Have you known any women who faint when scared? Or are you a fainter yourself?
I dated a girl a few years ago who had told me that she fainted when she was really afraid of something or someone. I wasn’t sure what to think about that until one day...
She was a petite and somewhat frail girl, named Monica, who worked at a sales location with me. She tended to be pretty cowardly in general and was often afraid of other women, even including some of her own friends. I found this intriguing. She often used to say, “Well, I guess she could beat me up and break all my bones” which caused me to have many catfighting fantasies about her, with her losing, of course. I left the broken bones part out of my fantasies.
Based on what she told me, she had been bullied and beaten up quite a lot when she was growing up and it seems to have had quite an effect on her psychee. But I digress…
We were both working in the same sales offices and one day Monica came bursting into my office, obviously frightened and said, “She’s coming!”
I looked out my door and could see her walking across the parking lot, approaching our offices. She was one of our customers who was always bitching and complaining about pretty much anything and everything. She was a “Karen” and was always angry about something and always had an angry look on her face. In fact, I don’t think she had any other facial expressions other than “angry.”
Now, I can see how Monica would be afraid of her. She was at least twice Monica’s size and I must admit, she was pretty scary looking, but I always thought that she was all bark and no bite.
As the angry woman approached the entrance to the offices, Monica was gripping my upper left arm with both hands. “Oh my God! She’s gonna beat the crap out of me!” Monica exclaimed.
“No, she’s not. Just relax. She’ll be gone in a few minutes.”
As the angry women walked through the entry door, I felt Monica’s grip and loosening. Then I noticed that she was starting to wobble around as her face lost all expression. About a second later, her eyes started to flutter as her whole body went completely limp. I barely managed to catch her before she collapsed.
“Monica?? Are you alright? Monica?”
She was out cold. Just like that, and she hadn’t even been directly approached or threatened by the angry woman.
I put her in my chair and managed to wake her up after about ten minutes, but she was a nervous wreck for the rest of the day…
Have any of you had similar experiences?
